Chapter 60: March to the Next Round
Translator: Sissy That Walk
The crowd couldn’t help but feel speechless on seeing the person who walked out slowly. It was no other than Murong Qingyan who had drawn the blank paper.
Sparing no attention to the crowd, Murong Qingyan raised her paper in hand, which was blank, with no order written on it. Obviously, it was she who had drawn the blank paper.
Feng Fei of course had heard about Murong Qingyan, plus he had witnessed the bizarre scene took place in the first round. Little did he expect that Murong Qingyan was blessed with such great luck that she drew the one blank paper out of the one hundred papers.
“Murong Qingyan drew the blank paper, she is entitled to march into next round.”
Shocked as Fengfei was, he announced the result anyway.
Resonant voice swept across the whole square, quite a few people twitched their mouths on hearing the name Murong Qingyan. How lucky was that woman! She already had a fluke in the first round, and now fancy her having drawn the only blank paper.
People cast curious looks at Murong Qingyan, of course quite a few remained unconvinced by the result, they maintained that Murong Qingyan held no strength at all, but she made two rounds by pure luck, how unfair was that.
However, it didn’t matter what those people were thinking. Rules were rules. Fact was Murong Qingyan had made two rounds.
Meanwhile among the spectators—
“Grandfather, May I leave for a bit?” reverently, Murong Qingyxue asked Murong Xiong.
“Don’t run around at this point.” frowned Murong Xiong, “Where are you going when it’s about to be your turn?”
“Please rest assured, grandfather, I’m not running around.” replied Murong Qingxue, “I just want to pay a visit to my elder sister.”
“Murong Qingyan?” Murong Xiong frowned harder hearing Morong Qingxue’s reply, he said with distain in his tone, “What are you doing paying a visit to her, hasn’t she brought enough shame to our family?”
“I’m a little bit worried about my sister” said Murong Qingxue with grievance, “Now that elder sister has made to the next round, I merely want persuade her to withdraw the competition on the account that the following rounds are not going to be easy. I’m worried about her.”
“You have my permission!” said Murong Xiong, nodding, “Tell her to quit, stop bringing more shame to our family, talk her out of the competition. Otherwise, I’ll give her a hard time myself.”
“Please rest assured, grandfather, I’ll definitely persuade elder sister with great efforts.”
Murong Qingyxue then walked towards her elder sister.
Murong Qingyxue got the luxury to sit next to Murong Xiong on the spectator stand due to she earned approval from Murong Xiong. Her elder sister, Murong Qingyan, on the other hand, wasn’t as lucky as she was, she was sitting among other contestants.
Murong Qingyan didn’t take it personally on the looks and talks from her fellow contestants, she hardly paid any attention to those comments.
Luck, sometimes, could be considered as part of overall strength. She didn’t think it was negative now that she made two rounds in a row. She wouldn’t frown even if she made it to the finale by pure luck. Of course, that was all in her head.
